I know lots of people who write with their right hand but shoot left. I have no idea why. My strong arm is on the bottom of the stick but lots of left shooters prefer their strong arm on the top. I don't really get it.

I'm right-handed and shoot left. Holding the stick the other way feels so totally bizarre to me.

A young lad I coached in cricket a couple of years ago there threw left but bowled (basically pitched to steal the baseball term) right. I've never figured the logic or biomechanics of that out.

I'm left-handed. I bowl left-handed but I can bat both left and right-handed.My Dad's right-handed and used to bowl right-handed and bat left-handed, though he plays golf right-handed.

Also, the Leafs just hitted 49 contracts, with Brown to be signed, right ?

We found out through Nylander's situation back in his slide year that if an 18/19 year old player is loaned to a junior team OR to a team outside of North America he doesn't count against the 50 player contract limit. But if he plays in the AHL he does count against the contract limit even if his contract still slides.

Question is, during the offseason- prior to his location being decided- does it count towards the limit? Not that we really need to get more players under contract, even for the Marlies- but some of these camp invites may be worth one. I guess we could try and get them on AHL-only deals, but we may lose out on one who can get an NHL ELC instead.

I dug up the thread where Nylander's contract slide being off the Reserve List was discussed, in hopes of concrete references to follow up on. Gotta say, it's as clear as mud.

Best to assume Liljegren's contract counts against the Reserve List limit until otherwise specified. Even better would be if we trade out some bodies.

Reserve List is different than 50-Contract limit. You can have 90 guys on your reserve list, and that includes drafted but unsigned players, or players with SPC who are playing in Junior or overseas.

If I were to guess, Liljegren's contract won't count against the limit because his last team played for was in Sweden. Nylander didn't count against the 50-Contract limit until he left Sweden and joined the Marlies.

You're right; I mixed up the terms as I was just reading the below, looking for rules about the SPC limit.

Quote

"Reserve List" means the list of all Players to whom a Club has rights including all Unsigned Draft Choices, all Players signed to an SPC (whether or not currently playing in the NHL), and all Players who have signed an SPC but who have subsequently been returned to Juniors. A Club may have on its Reserve List, at any one time, not more than 90 Players, which shall include the following:(a) Not more than 50 Players signed to an SPC and not less than 24 Players and 3 goalkeepers under an SPC. Age 18 and age 19 Players who were returned to Juniors, and who have not played 11 NHL Games in one season, shall be exempt from inclusion in the 50 Player limit.

Any Club violating this provision shall be liable to loss of draft choices as determined by the Commissioner.
